Pros:
- GREAT location. Within 5 min of the temples (if that’s what you are planning to see).
- Clean
- Super convenient storage lockers to keep your stuff after check out (bring your own lock!)
Cons:
- Difficult to find. Came in late and had a tough time finding the place. Putting the address in google maps got us close but not all the way there. The apartment is off the main road, down a small road, and through an alley
- Neighbors had a really loud rooster that will wake you up
Overall, great for the price.
We took the metro to the apartment from the airport (took about 1 hour and had to change trains in the middle). Suggest just taking a Grab, a lot less hassle.
Other notes for Bangkok:
- ladies, WEAR LONG PANTS that cover your knees and a shirt that covers your shoulders if you’re going to the temples. It’s no joke. You will be harassed on the street if you don’t and won’t be allowed entry to the main temples.
- DO NOT trust the tuk tuk drivers. They get you from point A to B but they are trying to scam you into something. Walk, take a Grab (it’s awesome and reliable), or the metro. Tuk tuk drivers may seem nice but it’s all an elaborate scam to get you to trust them. I promise, just avoid them.
